Every summer, Phillips’ Mill presents an original, fully developed, never-before-performed play by an up-and-coming playwright as its “Premiere Showcase.” This year’s play, “The Half of It,” written by Domenick Scudera, MFA, and directed by Griffin Horn, was inspired by the life and work of Bert Savoy, a vaudeville drag artist who was active in the 1910s and early 1920s.
The Phillips’ Mill Drama Committee will present “The Half of It,” a new play written by Domenick Scudera and directed by Griffin Horn, as part of the Mill’s Premiere Showcase, on its historic stage on July 18 to 21.
